That is common. The original plugs were supposed to be good for 100k. I changed them out at 90K and had 2 of the 6 over .100" and the rest in .085-.095" range. I also tore the boots on 3 of the wires so I changed out the wires as well. I used the recommended Ford plugs which were copper and they are only good for 30k. I have done the cheap copper plugs twice, it will be the Iridium next time
At almost 60K, I've been contemplating changing my plugs, especially since the truck is 7+ years old. I've read a lot and some say Fords run better with X or worse with X. I think I'll end up with some Champions. I replaced the Mustang's 2-piece plugs with some Champion 1-pieces. Which at the time I think was only 1 of 2 options in the 1-piece design. They've worked amazingly so far.
On another note,
Today, I changed over to the performance tune and drove to Home Depot. Has a lot more balls than the Eco tune does. Shifts later and I'm sure it eats more fuel. Feels a lot nicer though. Eco tune sucks and I still only get 15.5mpg in town with it. Lets see what the performance does.
Bought a new miter saw for my upcoming flooring project.
